I had this problem with my freewheel. The tool for removing them is simply useless! The only way we have found to remove them is to weld a length of steel to the freewheel pop it in a vice and keep turning untill it comes off! (a mallet/hammer can be used) They are absolute nightmares to get off! Enjoy Sam p.s hope ive helped http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....p;#entry1318463 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....p;#entry1319323

it will be for a 1/8th bmx chain yeah! Is there some underlying probs? Ben and I should be doing this today. Sam...

Thing is it is an echo 06 so its wierd as u say it fitted on my tpro wheel fine. Sam.

Im using a T-Pro. Although the hole for the chain tugs wont fit on the axle??? Will have to drill them out to make them fit. the hole at the minute is far to small??? Sam.

Hi all, Just wondering peoples opinions on me modifying gusset chain tugs to fit where my old snail cams did on my echo 06 rim?(echo hub as well) Have any of you tried this and failed/succeded? Just thought id ask before I did anything that will damage any part of the wheel especially the hub and axle. All im thinking of doing is just coreing them out to make them fit the space where the snail cams should go. Is this stupid??? Is there any issues that im over looking?? Im always a bit wary when i have ideas! Thanks in advance. Sam.

One of my m8s (at uni doing medicine not that makes it right) swears by pint of water 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 of salt mix round and down in one! Apparently if you go to hospital with any drink related overdose style problems they give you a little pill that has everything in it to recover from a hangover. This drink is pretty much the same (he says). All it does to me is make me want to chunder! Worked though. Sam...

Same as above!

Im going to stick with my decision! Thanks for the imput guys! Cheers N Wood i hope it will turn out like yours. Sam...

So what do i do about the one ive just bought from a top bloke on here? Keep it and hope for the best or ask him kindly to give me my money back? Dont want to mess him around but dont want a piss weak rim either! Sam...

This one I bought is apparently true and got no dents or flat spots. (it has got a small gap (0.5mm) at the top of the sidewall. is this a biggie? I guess its just down to how people ride them more than the actual rim being 'soft'? No reputable company would make a 'weak' product? Sam... p.s the stuff being done on the Tunni vid is mental though in all fairness!.

Just bought a Echo 06 rim, just wondering what everyone thinks of them. Before everyone says "should have got an 07" i was on a tight budget. Cheers Sam... p.s i did use the search

Hmmmm, well there was definatly only one missing its just so annoying trying to tighten the cones all the time especially without the assistance of a cone spanner. Thanks though mate. Any other ideas? Sam...

Hi all, need some advice from all of your mighty brains! My rear wheel is shaking like mad when the bolts are tightened! First idea was it would be the cones but i tighten them and about a three seconds of riding and the bloody wheel is shaking again! So i took the wheel off again this time opened up my fixed style hub and the side nearest the sprocket is bent and twisted. I bent this back somthing like and cleaned inside the hub and regreased, and put back together. However, one of the bearings in the hub was missing (opposite side to sprocket) :$ dont no whether that was me or not! So, what do you peeps think the shaking is caused by? Is a new hub on the cards or is it just a case of im rubbish? Thanks in advance Sam

Im at uni and still run my car. Was living in halls at my uni to. is very do'able. A car is such an asset to have whilst at uni! Get to see places and go places outside of the uni without walking what could be better? I know loadsa people with their cars at uni. Sam...

If you still get no luck it could be somthing to do with the piston in the lever. My brother had the same problem when water bleeding nothing happened. We took the lever apart cleaned it all up with the helpful use of an air compresser and tried again and it worked. When the air went down the cables loads of black debris came out. That might be your problem? Good luck mate Sam. . .

There is no link mate! Sam...

Have you tried as previous reply's said? Using white spirt to clean the rim rubbing it hard into the rim and wipeing off with a clean cloth/rag? You could always do this with your pads to. What i usually do with my pads on my maggie when they go a bit crap and start slipping is take them off and sand (horizontal) the debris (black stuff) off with a bit of sand paper untill I get a new layer of pad. Then go the other way (vertical) to rough the pad up a little. After that grips like a dream! Good Luck Sam...

Get yourselves to college then university works out so much better in the long run. And who else apart from students get to live the dream lifestyle of living with mates for next to nothing, not paying tax, getting drunk most nights and long lie-ins .Oh also doing a great course and learning loads obviously! Sam...

Cheers Guys. Thanks Ash just been out for a little go with them tilted down seems the pain is almost gone. Thanks Sam

Hi just wondering round about what would be the correct width for my bars as i currently have the 29" Zoo risers. However, i seem to be getting some pain in my forearm nearest my wrist. Could this be somthing to do with my bars being too long for me as im only 5' 5" :$ Thanks in advance. Sam

Thanks for the great respose guys! I think I will have a crack at it. Thats the only thing is was bothered about it knackering up my seals.(more expense). Im definatly going to try it now. I think my brakes need a bit of work as they feel quite spongy! Think that could partially be to do with my frame flexing. A brake booster will sort that out won't it? Cheers for advice Sam

Thanks very much for all the help guys. I think I'm going to try a water bleed then. Sounds like the way forward Thanks again. Sam

Seems like they are the way to go. Has anyone at all encountered damaged seals from this then? Also, thornabytrials.co.uk you mentioned that yours froze once, could anything be done to stop this for example anti freeze?? Do you find yourselves bleeding your brakes more often with water or do they tend to last just as long? Thanks Sam

Don't know if this is relevant to you anymore but private couriers are always much better for heavy/large things like a full bike. I'd probably give Parcel Force a try. Hope that helps. Sam

Just wondered what everyone thinks of them. how reliable are they? Ive used them and they feel good but they seem to go wrong really easy. What you lot think?
